About this map

The Red River of the North carves a complex, winding path through this western Norman County landscape, defining the border between Minnesota and North Dakota. The settlements of Halstad and Hendrum serve as the primary hubs, each anchored by its respective post office and surrounded by a network of agricultural section roads. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural character of the Red River Valley, where the flat terrain is interrupted only by the oxbows of the Wild Rice River and Elm River.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites for a rural area, including North Cemetery, South Cemetery, and Immanuel Cemetery. The map also captures local landmarks such as Christianson Field and Grandin Lake, while the presence of the Pontoppidan Lutheran Cemetery and Saint Pauli Cemetery reflects the cultural heritage of the early settlers who established these communities along the river's fertile plains.
